Has person who is more intelligent or from upper social class right to silence his/her friend who is below?

Question

I have seen this happening sometimes and experienced it also. It can happen between boys and between girls. If she for example think´s she is brighter and better in speaking than her friend she can put her hand over her mouth and keep it there for awhile and a friend who is from lower social class accepts it and let´s it happen. Do you think it is a right way of acting, showing to one from lower level his/her place in hierarchy? And at a same time kind of indicating that she can not rise from there or make her try harder?

Answer 1

no. thats B/S.

Answer 2

No, it is wrong.  If the rich kid had proper parenting, she would not behave that way.  That is shameful.   Hierarchy sucks.  It only exists because people allow it to.

Answer 3

I think everyone has a right to their opinion and input. When ppl who are in the upper income classes or ppl who are smarter try to silence others, it is chauvenistic and just plain ignorant.

Answer 4

No, no one person is better then anyone else. We are all equal, and entitled to have our own opinions. While in this day and age people from the upper class are trying to silent the lower classes it does not bode well for society.

Society is made up of every class, and no one class is more important, they are all needed in order for society to work properly and flourish. Here in America we have what is known as an open class system, which you may want to remind your friend about, while she may be in the "upper class" and looking down on the lower classes thinking she is better, she may fall into the lower class herself, or the people she may be looking down upon may enter into a higher class the she is in. It all come down to treat others as you want to be treated because you never know what the future holds.

Answer 5

What's with the hierarchy?    Are They people or dogs?

            No one is better than I am . No one has a right to lord it over anyone .

not for intelligence or money.  or anything that I can think of.
